Door Ajar Light

1995 Ford Ranger 4x4. The door ajar sound and dash light stay on. Anyone know where the switch is located and how to replace. I purchased a manual and I am waiting for it, until it arrives ???

The striker switch is located on the door where it would hit the frame, right above the door sticker. On my '98 it's a little black piece that sticks out. You don't need to replace it. Just a quick shot of WD-40 (or other lubricant, you will hear lots of different suggestions) into that switch and open and close the door a few times. It should start working right away. This is probably the most commonly asked about issue on this forum and probably the easiest and cheapest to fix.

Thanks, I just purchased the 1995 Ranger. One of the little items that was not evident.
